The USA percentage may well be higher if you agree with the assumption that Lend Lease kept the Soviet railroad system running, without which the Red Army could not have defeated the Wehrmacht. |
Sure - that's why I really love the Russians and the USA. And whatever they dished out, their opponents had it coming in big spades, that's for sure. Don'tcha just love it when that happens?

Quote :- "German exploits on the Eastern Front were absolutely miraculous." I must admit to being querulous regarding this myth of 'miraculous 'German victories. They chose the time and the place and the weapons, and they lost. They fought an enemy taken by surprise and disorganized but they lost. They failed because they failed to win before the winter, they were not strong strategically. They huffed and they puffed but they did not blow the house down. Quote: "Britain was victorious when facing ONLY the Luftwaffe." Well, let’s face it. They came by air and got beaten. They came by sea and got beaten. They didn’t come anymore. ----------------
